And that is pretty much what I'm doing with two differences:
1. I'm using user name instead of designated group.
2. Following principle of least privilege I don't want to give him 
(which just happens to be myself) rights to anything other than my 
digital camera. Only this specific camera should trigger changes in 
ownership/rights of camera-related device nodes.

I know it looks a bit anal at first glance but it is not ;)
